GENEALOGY
“It will be seen that this mere painstaking burrower and grub-worm of a poor devil of a Sub-Sub appears to have gone through the long Vaticans and street-stalls of the earth, picking up whatever random allusions to *_____________ he could anyways find in any book whatsoever, sacred or profane.”
Extracts from the sub-sub librarian’s intro to the etymology of Moby Dick.
We inhabit at minimum three worlds as homo-sapiens. These three worlds are not isolated universes; they are realms or levels within the known universe. Their numbering reflects their temporal order within the known universe. Each succeeding realm is a product of developments within the preceding realm. World three, the orbis tertius, is not the platonic realm of fixed ideas, archetypes, or forms. It is the product of matter (orbis primus) and mind (orbis secondo), it corresponds to the current state of knowledge and culture, and is constantly being shaped and reshaped by the past, present and potential futures.
The Genealogy looks something like this:
The Material World: Orbis Primus (corporis statum, terra firma)
↧ ↧
The Living World: Orbis Secundo (animi/us/ma, mentis statum, verbum, mathematica logicus )
↧ ↧
The World of the Imagination and Science: Orbis Tertius (materia-animi, configura, imaginatio, fantasia).
When the first two combine into the third we arrive at what Lucretius described in De rerum natura, circa 70 B.C. as a Swerve, akin to a spontaneous movement of swerving or clinamen of some atoms, as opposed to their stable fall, situating matter between reality and possibility, or parallel universes, resulting in a multiplicity of possibilities, the ability to be two places at once, poesis and an enigma represented via superimposition.
